MAJESTY QUEEN CONSORT OF THE KING OF GEORGE THE Her Majesty was the second daughter and fifth child of the late Charles William Duke of Brunswick Wol by the Princess daughter of his Royal Highness the late Frederick Prince of and sister of our late revered and most gracious Sovereign King George The Princess was considered by the Court and the England as a most desirable match for his Royal Highness the Prince of The marriage of their Royal after a short took place on the 9th of in the presence of the royal of the principal nobility in the Nothing could be more than the celebration of these nor more touching than the joy which of the people testified on the occasion addresses poured in from every of the country to congratulate the royal couple on their union and in a few months it was understood that the Princess was in a way to give an heir to the the happiness of the people was at its But short was the space in which England could congratulate herself on the union which promised to be so auspicious few days we believe domestic of what nature we are unacquainted they were probably of that trivial kind that might have been accommodated had her Royal Highness been properly advised but she had no kind maternal friend to offer advice or for a circumstance had unhappily lost htr the regard of a high whose influence with the Prince was very The Princess retired to devoting her youth to and bury ing those which were cultivated to adorn in the solitary domestic amusements of a of the peculiar delicacy of her unhappy the Queen here conducted herself with such amiable as claimed not only the pity of the but the as our immortal poet Be thou as chaste as as pure as Thou shall not escape suddenly invaded her tranquillity even in this calumny the most and was

conclusive proof of the affectionate regard with which she was while under her parental ge and all who have known or served bear ample testimony even the discarded wretches who disgraced the country and with their wicked and obnoxious impugn and libel her noble even the most lost to gratitude and demons of Italian they were compelled to ac such is the force of truth that she was a most kind and But though she was cleared of the charge imputed to her by two successive commissions of the Cabinet and subsequently by her Sovereign and her domestic disquietude was not removed she was still an exile from her intercourse with her daughter and her actions as closely watched as She adopted the resolution of seeking comfort abroad in the year she quitted very much against the advice of her con Whitbread and The circumstances attending her residence on the Continent are too voluminous admit of a satisfactory and too recent in the recollection of our readers to require The same observations apply to the interval from her return to England in August to the commencement of her which terminated in her dissolution of which melancholy event he details occupy a large portion of this days Her Majesty was born on the 17th of and on the 7th of the present at the age of 53 2 and 2J r It is said that the malady which has sheltered her Majesty from all future care and suffering is not of recent ori This unfortunate Princess has been more than once attacked by the same and about two years when she resided at assumed so alarming an that the during a period of three were in momentary expectation that the result would prove may appear to have been either remote or the proximate cause of this melancholy prudence if it should be as it may involve many important questions and it is quite reasonable to in a pro hud it been compatible with those humane feelings which the physicians who attended her Majesty are known to or to the established code of medical to reason with the Royal patient upon the pro of a measure which good sense would and the anxious solicitude of the people at large would almost induce them to doubt can be entertained that the Queen would have yielded her own personal feelings of and have consented to an which must prove satisfactory to her and conducive to general Few during the last year of her trials and gave to her so much pain as the circumstances of her and subsequent of from She had determined in her own mind to accept as the first gracious act of the Sovereign towards her but she was otherwise and she yielded to that But the se verest blow to her feelings Was the necessity which forced her for once to submit to retract she had said firm of and always so to yield to her enemies inflicted a wound she never recovered and what gave more an guish was the thought that her enemies would in triumph has yielded I And for what For money which she cared not and at she only accepted to enable her to pay her debts at the moment she agreed to accept the money from she had not ten pounds house to defray the common expences of the and nothing at her bankers She on her agreeing to take tha Government would have given her a house and some outfit for her when she would have paid all her and Have been quite satisfied as to pecuniary for slie never valued money for her own personal Instead of deducted up wards of which they had paid for a

which brought her to the grave was occasioned by the suppression of Apparently she was ever the gayest of the the life of made so happy by her kindness and She would not that even her her dearest should know how she suffered but it is difficult always to deceive the anxious eye of affection devoted and those who were most with and knew her saw with pain that her spirits were all her gaity was not that of the she suffered most and felt all her wrongs with the most bitter anguish the more heartrending that she would not accept the sympathy of for she would never her grief when to a casual observer she appeared to be fuHy engaged at any amusement she was fond her mind occupied with a game of chess to a common she seemed the most free from care or those who watched her every look with
